In a trading update issued on Tuesday (8 October), easyJet said solid fourth-quarter performance fuelled by “robust demand” and investment in operational resilience would likely ensure strong full-year profit, before tax, of between £420 million and £430 million – which falls in the “upper half” of its previous guidance.
EasyJet will deliver its latest full-year results on 19 November, as well as an update on its 2020 priorities.
The carrier said it had weathered the “difficult disruption environment” during the three months to the end of September, picking up business from the strikes afflicting British Airways and Ryanair.
